The Film: The Mummy (1999)
What You Thought It Was: A riff on classic adventure serials spearheaded by Brendan Fraser’s Rick O'Connell heading to Egypt to uncover an ancient curse.
What It Actually Is: The turbulent love story between Rick and Rachel Weisz’ Evie Carnahan.
They might spend their courtship squabbling or battling a bandaged bastard, but they’re perfect for one another.
Line Of Dialogue Julia Roberts Would Be Comfortable Uttering: “Oh, for heaven's sake, girl! It wasn't that good of a kiss.” She likes him, you can tell.
The Film: Shaun Of The Dead (2004)
What You Thought It Was: Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg’s comic take on the Romero zombie epics, set in London.
What It Actually Is: A zom-rom-com as Pegg’s Shaun is dumped by, then wins back, girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield).
If you ask us, the tagline “A romantic comedy. With Zombies” should really have given the game away, but the boys make sure it’s never saccharine.
Line Of Dialogue Julia Roberts Would Be Comfortable Uttering: “What makes you think I'd have taken you back?” Liz, still managing to hash out the relationship even in the face of zombie holocaust.

Not sure about The Mummy but the others are OK. What about the following: Pirates of the Caribbean series - Just a three film love story for Knightly and Bloom with Depp as the third love interest. A Knight's Tale - Basically Heath Ledger falling in love with a few decent jousting sequences in it.

Finding Nemo is a "Man-movie"? Somehow I can't see a bunch of fella's leaving the pub on a firday night to take in a movie and choosing Finding Nemo. Shaun of The Dead, Top Gun For sure. Garden State, Napoleon Dynamite. Sure maybe. Nemo? Nope. And I agree with GrandiaKnight about The Mummy. Found that one about as romantic as a tacky valentines card.

Finding Nemo? It's must be rather embarrasing for you because that is neither a rom-com or "bloke film". It looks like you wrote this article in the same space of time that Lucas wrote "Phantom Menace".
